Telepic is based on popular John Sandford novel

That turnout meant it was the second most-watched telepic for the year, behind Lifetime’s “The Craigslist Killer.” “Certain Prey,” based on the John Sandford novel and starring Mark Harmon as a Minneapolis police chief on the hunt for a pair of killers, performed well with male viewers — just over 2 million — on a night where NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” program always draws a big number.

Pic was written and directed by Chris Gerolmo. Harmon exec produced with Michael Jaffe and Howard Braunstein.
